Nice Course - Too Slow!

This Pete Dye Course is a nice layout, but is completely ruined by the extremely slow play. A 5 hour round is ridiculous! Not playing there again.

Nice Track Ruibed by Slow Play

The title says it all. Nice layout but an almost 5 hour round is not acceptable.

A Pete Dye Good Suprise

I usually find Pete Dye courses are not to my liking as they can be overly punitive. This is not the case with Red Mountain Ranch! It is a fair and challenging course with some fun holes. I will definitely play it again the next time I visit the desert!

Slow Play Detracts from Beuatiful Course

I'm sorry, but I just don't relish a 4 hour & 45 minute round and waiting 5-10 minutes on every shot. No marshalls on the course either. Very furstrating experience - put a damper on a lovely course.

Dear Dgs4golf,

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent golf experience. I am sorry that pace of play was not up to standard. We do have rangers on the golf course the entire day, and likely they were doing what they could to speed play up in front of your group. It is not often that we go over 4:15 minutes. We hope to see you again in the future to give it another go.

Have a great day,

Great track

The course itself and the staff are great. The problem we had was playing with a couple where the husband clearly does not know how to golf, whiffed at the ball multiple times on several holes and most of the time, diidn't have the good sense to pick up his ball. Isn't there a better way for courses to determine who should be on a course? Or, are we just doomed to the luck of the draw?

Slow, slow, slow

Check in was unbelievably long. We were not told to give our receipt to the starter right away, so when we did give it to him at our appointed starting time, he basically reamed us out. He said he called us several times over the loud speaker , which was not true. Then, to top it off, they put too many people out on the course, so our round took 5 hours. This all added up to a very disappointing experience. There are lots of options in the Desert, so I won't be back here anytime soon.
